Personalized Holiday Cards, Gifts and More at Zazzle.com

This is a sponsored post on behalf of Zazzle, all opinions are my own.

My favorite time of  the year is here – time for Christmas carols, holiday baking, tree lightings and gift buying. One of my favorite parts of our holiday traditions is the family Christmas card. With having family and friends from Cali to Maine, and down to Florida, it’s important to me that I send a personalized card sharing pictures of our family, especially the kids.

I have to admit I’m not the best at sending pictures out of the kids any other time of the year – in fact, I’ve pretty much given up on buying the expensive and not-so-flattering school pictures, and the individual sports photos of my son in his baseball uniform, or my daughter with her soccer team seem to get shoved into the back of my desk until it’s time for some spring cleaning; so making sure my family and friends have some great photos of my kids and taking care of my Christmas card list is like killing two birds with one stone for me – and that’s why I love  Zazzle

Zazzle has a huge array of holiday cards to pick from – in fact, it took me forever to pick one, and  I still wasn’t sure if  it was my favorite (hey,that was the final pick out of 6 that I couldn’t decide on!)

Don’t Miss Macy’s FREE Holiday Light Shows Coming to Cincinnati

This post is sponsored by Everywhere Agency; however, all thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.

I have always been a bit of a traditions girl; get up early on Thanksgiving to watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade (totally on my  bucket list to see it on person though), the smell of my Nana’s dressing baking, my Mom rushing around trying to make sure everything is ready before everyone arrives. Sitting down for dinner and going each of us sharing what we are thankful for, then all the ladies scrounging the Black Friday ads for our shopping plan of action the next day. Now that I’m a Mom myself, I want to make sure that my kids have plenty of holiday traditions that warm their heart, and that they talk about with excitement. One of those traditions is attending the Macy’s tree lightening this holiday season at Fountain Square in downtown Cincinnati.

The Macy’s Light Show Cincinnati celebrates 11 years of Santa and his elves rappelling down the side of the Vine Street Building to Macy’s rooftop to kick  off the spectacular fireworks show!

Not only do you get to see this amazing light show, but this entirely free event also offers performances from local choirs, new lighting effects and a few more surprises! After the show visit the family fun area inside Macy’s Fountain place (from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.)

Nature’s Recipe: Affordable, Healthy & Balanced Pet Food

This is a sponsored post on behalf of Nature’s Best Recipe. 

If you are like me, your pets are like part of the family – and you want to make sure that they live a long, happy life. So feeding your pets the right food is part of helping that happen. Nature’s Recipe pet food is focused on promoting health and happiness for your pet every day – without breaking the bank.

For more than 30 years Nature’s Recipe has been providing pets with nutrition drawn from nature’s goodness. When it comes to your pets needs, they make sure that every ingredient in their recipe counts.

If you are unsure which Nature’s Recipe® pet food to try, you can try the Help Me Choose tool on the Nature’s Recipe website. I answered a few simple questions (age, type of food, indoor/or outdoor pet, and any dietary needs) and it gave me suggestions on what foods that would be best for our cats. I love that I can run to PetSmart to pick up a bag if I am running low, or I can even order online (which is my preferred method of most any type of shopping!)
